Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 110:

“Miss Warren,” Judie greeted, glancing subtly at Vivian and Bryan. She harbored the hope that fostering a good relationship with Vivian would make Bryan pay attention to her. With that thought, she couldn’t help but smile warmly. “I’ve already requested time off for tomorrow. Where shall we meet?”

Vivian cast a glance towards Bryan and replied hurriedly, “Let’s decide later. What brings you here today?”

“I thought I’d prepare for our shopping trip to Vicin Mall tomorrow by clearing up urgent work today,” Judie explained. “While spending time with you is a priority, I must also keep up with my duties.” She glanced at Bryan, wanting to prove that she was skillful in balancing her work commitments with her social plans.

Upon hearing the mention of “Vicin Mall,” Bryan furrowed his brows, but he quickly composed himself and lit a cigarette as if nothing had happened.

“Alright, you can go back home now,” Vivian dismissed Judie impatiently, then led Bryan to leave.

Her heart raced, knowing that Bryan showed no concern over her plan to visit Vicin Mall. With relief washing over her, she thought about her next moves to make Stella happy.

The store manager’s meeting on Monday morning would run until nearly noon.

Before heading out, Charli expressed a nagging worry. “I’ve got a strange feeling something’s up today. Eileen, stay in the warehouse and go over the employee handbook again.”

“Got it,” Eileen agreed without objection and went to the warehouse with the handbook. She had only been in the warehouse for a few minutes when Aniya approached her. “Eileen, I need to step into the break room to sort out some new gowns for customers. Could you watch the front for a minute?”

It was just for a short while. Eileen set aside the handbook and stepped out just in time to spot Vivian and Judie at the entrance of the store. She understood the situation immediately.

“Eileen?” Judie expressed surprise upon seeing Eileen. “What are you doing here?”

“Can’t you tell?” Vivian said, pulling Judie into the store. “Eileen works here now. Let’s support her business.”

Eileen’s change of employment was common knowledge within the company, and Judie was certainly aware. As a matter of fact, many had questioned Judie about Eileen’s whereabouts. When Judie claimed ignorance, no one believed her, assuming she was merely withholding information. In truth, she didn’t know. Ever since Roderick’s outburst, she had avoided contacting Eileen.

“I don’t usually attend to occasions that require me to wear gowns,” Judie muttered. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to afford one.

Vivian just said, “Choose any gown you fancy. Consider it my gift to you.”

Judie’s heart surged with excitement, prompting an almost audible laugh, but she quickly masked her reaction with a feigned reluctance. Then, Vivian pulled her into the lounge, with Eileen following behind after taking a deep breath.
